This was delightful! You've captured the cadence of the characters' voices and the pace of the show most accurately. And the information about the school system was very engaging. Well done. A joy to read.

That was AMAZING it truly seemed like something from canon. The characterization, the conversations between the characters, the way the case developed and how each suspect was introduced, I feel like I'm reading a novelization of a real Elementary episode. Great job!

Its interesting reading a story set in a famdom about which I know nothing. Of course i know the traditional Sherlock and Holmes but have not seen elementry or know what the characters look like. Usually I stay in a fandom where all the characters are like old acquaintances and it is hard to judge the degree to which I overlay my perception of the character on the author's portrayal. Throughout the fic I picked up snippet.., Watson is female, I know that early on, Chinese comes much later, and so on. The story was great. Its definitely the best way to return to high school...virtually. American education systems are as much of a mystery to me as who murdered Mrs Jefferson and i enjoyed learning about both. THe story was engaging, detailed without being ponderous and always entertaining. Your writing , as usual, is perfectly pitched. There are so many small perfections in this story it is impossible to cite all that stood out to me. I will leave you with the last one, a lovely description and one that reveals a lot about both characters..." "Your choice, Watson, whether you join me or not. I'm certainly happier with your company than without it."
Like most of Sherlock's rare grace notes of affection, this one is lobbed so quickly and detonates so softly that Joan doesn't quite hear it until after he's already pulled his attention away. "
Wonderful.

Me again! You did a great job with your new "Elementary" fan fic-my only complaint was that it ended too soon! However, I'll never forget my lesson in phlurb-ology. Can't wait to see what you come up with next in this genre and thanks again for sharing! ; - D
